To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Josnrn SOROKIN, a citizen of the United States,residing in Des Moines, county of Polk, and State of Iowa,

have invented anew and useful Improve ment in Ironing-Board-ClothHolders, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide means for easily and quicklyadjusting, and. holding in place, the clean cloths which areplaced onironing boards.

My invention relates particularly to the I art of ironing clothes,usually employed in constructed from a stri laundries and the like, butit may be applied with equal success to all private work;

My invention consists of certain details of construction hereinafter.set forth, pointed out in my claims, and illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings in which-- Figure 1 shows an inverted plan view of an ironingboardfitted out with my device;

- Fig. 2' shows an inverted plan view of my device, and Fig. 3 shows adetail view of one of the clasp members which I employ.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, the reference numeral 10 is usedto indicate an ironingboard and the numeral 11 a cloth which is designedto be stretched over the top of the ironing board and secured thereto,said cloth being' for the usual purpose of cleanliness.

ber 12 provided with a plurality of outwardly extending coil springs 13and on the outer end of each coil spring is secured a clasp member 14.These springs are ar-v ranged in the manner shown in the drawings andthe clasp-members secured thereto are for the purpose of hooking intothe cloth to hold it in shape, the various springs being arranged aroundthe body member in such a manner as to be'most-convenient and to beadapted for holding the cloth uniformly to the board. The clasp, members14 are of metal properly stamped so as to provi e a depending lug 15and'upwardly projecting pointed hooks 16, the hooks being designed tofasten into the cloth and the lug 15 being designed for convenience ingrasping the clasp member and stretching the spring to the point wherethe hooks are designed to engage the cloth. When the hook members arereleased from Secured longitudinally to the under surface of theironingboard is a memience of operation, substantially as the cloth which isdone when the operator is changing cloths the springs and their re-Patented Apr. 11, 1916.

spective clasp members depend from the body portion. 12 and, as the saidbody portion is secured to the ironing board, it is obvious that mydevice is never removed therefrom and is always ready for operation. y

The operation of my device is so obvious that detail description thereofwill not be given.

The body portion 12 of my 'device may be constructed of wire or of metalstamped inany desired conformation without changing my invention, for mypurpose is to construct such a body portion as may be convenientlysecured to the ironing board for the purpose of providing a properanchor for the springs and means-to hold them in position on the ironingboard when the clasp members are released from the cloth. It is alsoobvious that the particular form of claspmember may be changed withoutaltermg my. invention as the construction shown for the clasp member ismerely for convenience, the purpose of the clasp member bein SKI-1P1},to properly engage a cloth and hold it in position.
